But I 28 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 3: was driving last night out to Santa Anita. It is 29 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 3: around I don't know, maybe six thirty last night, and 30 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: I'm not driving two low Salamidos where they're running. I, 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: like all the other winners in life, am driving to 32 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 3: Santa Anita to bet quarter horses off track.

And I 38 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: hang up with him, and then I'm listening to the 39 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 3: news on kfive and I hear that Rob Reiner's house 40 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: LAPD was called at three point thirty and there's a 41 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: seventy eight year old and a sixty eight year old 42 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 3: dead in a home that Rob Reiner owns in Brentwood. 43 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: So I call Malibu Dan back because I'm driving. I 44 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: don't want to text. I want to, you know, look 45 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: this up myself. And I said, hey, buddy, can you 46 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 3: do me a favor? He says, yeah, buddy, what is it? 47 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: I said, can you look up to see what age 48 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: Rob Reiner is? And he says yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 49 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: And then there's a pause, and then there's a pause, 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 3: and then he said, you want me to do that? Now? 51 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? 52 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 3: You know, I was thinking maybe you could do it 53 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: while I'm on the phone. Oh yeah, buddy, Okay, buddy, 54 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: all right, sure buddy, And he says Rob Reiner is 55 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 3: seventy eight and his wife is sixty eight. And right 56 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: then I knew it. I knew that they were gone. 57 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: And I thought, initially it's one of these home invasion deals, 58 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: you know, somebody's breaking in and trying to steal all 59 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: of Rob Reiner and the Reiner fortune, and the home 60 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: invasion robbery went bad. And then as it comes out 61 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: more and more information, there's some rumors out there, there's 62 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: some facts that are wrong, but turns out that the 63 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: main suspect is his kid, his son. Now, some cops 64 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: will tell you this, and and they've told me this 65 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: that quite often when the son. Never daughters, by the way, 66 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: never daughters. But when the son goes to kill they 67 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 3: go to kill their dad. You have that kind of 68 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: when you have that kind of anger in you, it's 69 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 3: directed towards your dad, you know, when when when your 70 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 3: when mom's crazy, you just sort of laugh at her, 71 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: you know. But when dad's crazy, some of these sons 72 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: flip and they want to kill their dad. And so 73 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 3: the cops will tell you this that quite often the 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 3: kid will go to kill the dad, the mom will 75 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 3: try to stop it, and that's when she gets laid 76 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: out in trying to stop the murder of her husband 77 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 3: and the father of the son trying to kill the dad. 78 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: And maybe that's what happened. I don't know, but I 79 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 3: have a long history with this family. One of my 80 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: dad's better friends, or one of my dad's best friends 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: for a while, was Carl Reiner. They were, you know, 82 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: they were very good friends in the seventies and then 83 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: sort of in the nineties. You know, they stayed in touch, 84 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 3: but you know, saw one another just at parties and 85 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: stuff like that, and then hooked up on a on 86 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 3: a TV show, on that Betty White TV show about Cleveland, 87 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 3: and they were in a couple of episodes of that 88 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: Hot in Cleveland. Yeah Hot in Cleveland, Yeah, right, Hot 89 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: in Cleveland, and that Carl Reiner was truly one of 90 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 3: the nicest, funniest men you could ever meet in your life, 91 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 3: ever meet in your life. And so was Rob Reiner. 92 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: So my dad's very good friend was was Rob Reiner's dad, 93 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: Carl Reiner. And every Christmas or Slash Hanikah, we would 94 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: go to a house that was owned by my dad's 95 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 3: best friend, Ron Clark. Ron and Sheiela Clark and then 96 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: had a house in Brentwood, beautiful old colonial home and 97 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: we'd go to their house and the be there, the Anderson's, 98 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 3: the Egans, the Clarks, all the friends that my dad 99 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: had in and around show business. And Carl Reiner was 100 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: always there. Rob Reiner was there, and Rob b Reiner 101 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 3: was there with his older daughter Tracy Reiner. This before 102 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: he had these three kids, and Rob Reiner was there. 103 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: There's probably about thirty kids at this party. There were 104 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: two parties every year. There was a Fourth of July 105 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: party where everybody played volleyball or pool volleyball, and then 106 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: there was the Christmas party. And Carl Reiner would be there, 107 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: he'd be playing a little piano. Rob Reiner would be there. 108 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: And Rob Reiner along with Tom Egan, I remember both 109 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: those men. Tommy Egan Joan Eagan's husband, associate producer of 110 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: a lot of television show and Rob Reiner were the 111 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 3: only two guys out of all the men and all 112 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: the women at that party, who knew every kid's name, 113 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: every kid's name. They would sit at the kids table, 114 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: they would talk to the kids. Tom Egan and Rob Reiner, 115 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: those are the two guys. They knew everything about all 116 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: the kids. They felt more comfortable going with, you know, 117 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: playing volleyball to the kids, talking to the kids, you know, 118 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 3: asking what's going on with their life, always spending time 119 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: with the kids. So Rob Reiner was a very successful 120 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 3: director and writer. One of my favorite movies of all 121 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 3: time was a Few Good Men. The opening shot where 122 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: the Marines are are, you know, displaying their guns and 123 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 3: you know, lining up and doing the you know, the 124 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: the the gun review or whatever that's called. That's one 125 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: of my favorite scenes in the movie ever. It's shot beautifully. 126 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 3: Jack Nicholson in that movie is unbelievable. You can watch 127 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: that movie and be Republican or Democrat, pro pro military, 128 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: anti military, whatever it is, you can come out with 129 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: what you want to believe in that movie, whether the 130 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: murder was correct or whether the murder was not right, 131 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: whether he was prosecuted correctly or not, or prosecuted wrongly, 132 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: whatever you want, you can pull out of that movie 133 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: and people can watch that movie and say, oh. 134 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, my guy one or my team won. 135 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: It's it's very difficult to do in a movie, and 136 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: he did it and a few good Men. And so 137 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: he did a few good Men, I'm Princess Bride, uh, 138 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 3: you know, a million movies, spinal tap and when Harry 139 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: met Sally, Yeah, one of the one of the great 140 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: scenes of all time. 141 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: And Harry met Sally. 142 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: And then he had these three kids, and he pulled 143 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: back from show business. Not that he was, you know, 144 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: unsuccessful in his movies. He just wanted to spend more 145 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: time with his kids. And so he got into politics, 146 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: which allows you to be spend more time, you know, 147 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: at home on the phone. Because when you're doing a movie, 148 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: you know, let's say you're doing a few good Men, 149 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: you think about that takes up two years of your life. 150 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 3: Every waking moment you're thinking about that movie. You know, 151 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 3: who do we cast? 152 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 2: Who? 153 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: You know? 154 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: Is this right? 155 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: You know, should we rewrite this scene, who's gonna do 156 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 3: this scene, who's gonna do the lighting, who's gonna do 157 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 3: the sound, who's gonna do the editing? You always all 158 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 3: you do is you try to find the best people 159 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: in the world to make that movie as great as 160 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 3: you can. And it takes up eighteen to twenty four 161 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: hours of your day, and so you don't have time, 162 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: and you don't have time to, you know, to raise 163 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: three brand new kids late in your life.

You know, when you lose a loved one, 231 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 3: or you know your mom or dad, it's always tough 232 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 3: or a friend to say he was or she was 233 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 3: instead of is and and especially if you're really really 234 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: close to that family that's going. 235 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 2: To be a was. It was a complete shock to everybody. 236 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: Anyway, Rob Reiner pulled away from from doing movies and 237 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 3: he got into politics and he started the First five, 238 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 3: which is raising money on everybody in California who's making 239 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: over four hundred thousand dollars or eight hundred thousand dollars 240 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 3: as a couple. And there's an extra tax that was 241 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 3: going to raise billions of dollars so kids could go 242 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: to school for free and give them an education and 243 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: were and and helped them out with the first five 244 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 3: years of their life. And then he left that because 245 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: there was some money that got confused when in proposition 246 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 3: eighty two, which would have funded nursery school or kindergarten. 247 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: And then he just pulled away from politics. I think 248 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: it really turned off and went and spent a lot 249 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: of time with his kids. His wife is a photographer. 250 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 3: And you may have heard this already that you know, 251 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: every the information is swirling around social media. You don't 252 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 3: know which what to believe, went not to believe. But 253 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: Rob Reinert really disliked Donald Trump. And he married the 254 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: woman who took the photograph of Donald Trump on Donald 255 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: Trump's book The Art of the Deal. How about that marriage, right, 256 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: I don't know when that came up, Whether they got 257 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 3: married first and then he found out that his wife 258 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: took that picture, or maybe he tried to, you know, 259 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 3: find out who took that picture so he could yell 260 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: at her and then fell in love with her. I 261 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: don't know which game first. I don't know.

I think I would have to look 300 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: at the years, but I think All in the Family 301 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 3: was nineteen seventy one to seventy eight or seventy nine. 302 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: And I know they had an eight year run there, 303 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: and they did that show at the exact same time 304 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: they were doing the Carol Burnett Show. And I think 305 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 3: it overlapped by about six seven eight years exactly seventy 306 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: one seventy one to seventy nine. That was the All 307 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: in the Family, and Burnett was sixty seven to seventy 308 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: seven I think sixty seven. I know it was the 309 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 3: start seventy seven they ended think of his anyway, so 310 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: there was about seven years that they overlapped there, and 311 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 3: so they shot the Carol Burnett Show in the on 312 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 3: the very same stage that they shot All in the Family. 313 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: Sixty seven to seventy eight. 314 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: Seventy eight, okay, sixty seven to seventy eight. So from 315 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy one to nineteen seventy eight, both those shows 316 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 3: were going on at the same time, and I would 317 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 3: go in on Friday every Friday to watch the Carrol 318 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 3: Burnett Show being recorded, being you know, taped, and they 319 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: would do an early show and a late show, and 320 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 3: all the kids went to the early show because the 321 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: late show was you know, adults only. And I remember, 322 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: you know, the offices that my dad had at the 323 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: Carol Burnett show, the offices right next door were All 324 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: in the Family. The door was probably three feet away, 325 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 3: and so I saw constantly all the actors and actresses 326 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: they were on the All in the Family constantly walked by, 327 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: and so I saw Rob Reiner quite often, you know, 328 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 3: when I would go into watch the Carol Bernut Show. 329 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,479 Speaker 3: And he was always very nice to everybody.

He's not one of those guys who, you know, 332 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: you bring up his dad and he says, oh, I 333 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: have my own career. 334 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: He's never liked that. 335 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: And and when you when your dad is a celebrity, 336 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: either you really enjoy when people talk about your mom 337 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 3: or your dad who's famous, or you really hate it. 338 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 3: And I enjoy it every single time. There was a 339 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 3: guy at at a Cadillac Pasadena who came by and 340 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 3: said and talked about my dad for like ten minutes. 341 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh man, I thought it was beautiful and 342 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 2: taught him. 343 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 3: I told him how much that my dad affected his 344 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 3: life growing up. And and a very sincere conversation he 345 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 3: and he, you know, he said, your dad changed the 346 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: uh uh he this is what he said. And I 347 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 3: know we got to take a break, but this is important, 348 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: he said to me at the Cadillac dealership. He said, 349 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 3: there was one hour every week where my dad wasn't 350 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,439 Speaker 3: trying to choke my mom or choke the kids, and 351 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: it was the Carabernett Show. He said, we knew one 352 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 3: hour a week Dad would stop being an a hole, 353 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 3: and that was Saturday night watching the Carrabernut Show. He said, 354 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: that's the only hour we ever got a break from dad, 355 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 3: and it was all thanks to your dad. So that's 356 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: a really cool story. I'll always remember that story as well. 357 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: All Right, a lot more on Rob Reiner and. 358 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: His beautiful wife Michelle. 359 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 3: They have passed and the Sun is the main suspect 360 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 3: and the daughter Rommy found mom and dad at home. 361 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 2: It couldn't be more tragic. 362 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 5: You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on Demand from KFI 363 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 5: Am six forty. 364 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 3: We continue to talk about Rob Reiner and his beautiful 365 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: wife Michelle, who were killed last night or yesterday afternoon 366 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 3: in their Brentwood house. This mansion, beautiful house decorated for 367 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 3: the holidays, and they had gone to a Christmas party 368 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 3: that Conan O'Brien was having, and again I did not 369 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 3: get an invite, but that's another story. I from what 370 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 3: I understand from somebody went to that party that Nick 371 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 3: the son, had a huge argument with his dad and 372 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 3: his mom at that party and anybody knows anything about 373 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: holiday parties, that's the wrong arena for that, especially somebody 374 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: else's home. And so Rob Reiner must have been humiliated, 375 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: and that may have sparked what happened yesterday because that 376 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: party was Saturday night and this happened on a Sunday. 377 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: I remember two years ago, about a year and a 378 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 3: half or two years ago, we were talking about what 379 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: we wished for in show business. You know, a movie 380 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: to be remade, or a character to you know, to 381 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 3: be I'm going on to go on to do a 382 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 3: spin off or something. What TV shows you'd like to 383 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: see remade, you know, typical hackash talk radio crap that 384 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: I do. And my wish And I went on for 385 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: a ten minute saying one of my wishes was that 386 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 3: Rob Reiner would get back into making movies and doing 387 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: entertainment because he got into politics for a while and 388 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: he was very harsh and very hard on Donald Trump. 389 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: And I said on the air, there are fifty million Americans, 390 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 3: including myself, that could go on the radio or do 391 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 3: a podcast every day on how much they hate Donald Trump. 392 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 3: It's very very simple to do. It is the lowest 393 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 3: hanging fruit. I could do it for three hours a 394 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 3: night and never run out of material if I chose 395 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: to do that, right, But there's only one guy that 396 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 3: could write and direct movies like Rob Reiner. Fifty to 397 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: one hundred million people can go off on politics on 398 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 3: how much they hate a certain person, but there are 399 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 3: really two or three guys in the world that are 400 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 3: capable of directing movies as beautifully as Rob Reiner did. 401 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 3: And how many people can do Spinal Tap and a 402 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: few Good Men and Princess Bride, Sleepless in Seattle, all 403 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: these beautiful movies. And so my wish was that he 404 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 3: got back into show business and left politics to the 405 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 3: other one hundred million Americans that can do that. And then, miraculously, seriously, 406 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 3: about a month later, you stopped seeing And I'm not 407 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 3: saying it was me that did this. Maybe somebody else 408 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 3: also got into Rob's ear and said, Rob, you need 409 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: to get back into show business. You need to direct 410 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 3: and produce and write again. This world needs more movies 411 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 3: and less politics. And he did Spinal Tap two, and 412 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 3: he seemed to be happier than hell. When he talked 413 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 3: to his neighbors, they all said he was the happiest 414 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: guy on the block. And whenever he stopped somebody and 415 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 3: stopped to talk to somebody, he didn't just wave and 416 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 3: say hi. He stopped and asking him, hey, how you 417 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: doing you know, how are you doing money wise? 418 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 2: How you doing food? How you doing this? How you doing? 419 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: How are the kids really really concerned? One of the 420 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 3: great ambassadors of show business of all time was Rob Reiner, 421 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: and so I'm glad that he got back into into 422 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 3: doing movies and then having to deal with this, you know, 423 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 3: crazy kid. I think a lot of families have a 424 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: kid like Nick in their family. 425 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: I know that we did. 426 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna say his name, but I was 427 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 3: at my dad's house about twenty five. 428 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 2: Years ago and two guys come. 429 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: And they knock on the door, and they're dressed in suits, 430 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 3: and they knock on the door. My dad answers, and 431 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 3: they say, can we speak to Thomas Daniel Conway. Thomas 432 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 3: Daniel Conway is my dad's legal name. He was born 433 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 3: Tom Conway, but had to change it to Tim because 434 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 3: there was already a Tom Conway and show business and 435 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 3: back then you could not have the same name as 436 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 3: another person if you were in the union. So I 437 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 3: knew it was trouble so he said, I'm Thomas Daniel Conway. 438 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 3: And the two guys looked at it. You go, oh, no, 439 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: you're Tim Conway. He goes, no, no, my legal name, 440 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: and he showed his license on his license said Thomas 441 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 3: Daniel Conway. 442 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,959 Speaker 2: So they said we need to speak to you. 443 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 3: And he said, okay, come on in, fellas, and they 444 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 3: introduced themselves and they showed badges and they were both 445 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: from the Secret Service, both of them, and they said 446 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: we need to talk to you. So the four of 447 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 3: us sat in the living room and one of the 448 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 3: Secret Service guys said who is him? Who is this 449 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 3: guy and pointing to me, and my dad said, that's 450 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 3: my son Tim. And he says, well, with all due respect, 451 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 3: he can't be in the room when we talk to you. 452 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 3: And so I split and went down the block, went 453 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: to have a sandwich, called my dad out. About an 454 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: hour later, went back to his house and I said, 455 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 3: what was that all about? And he said, somebody in 456 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 3: this family was a me threatened to kill the president. 457 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: Of the United States. Was not you. It was not 458 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: me threatened to kill the president. 459 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 3: Of the United States. This is about twenty five years ago. 460 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 3: And so my dad had the exact same problems that 461 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: Rob Reiner had, the exact same problems on this on 462 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 3: almost the same level. As a matter of fact, I 463 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 3: would call my dad every once in a while and 464 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 3: I go, Wow, you're still alive. 465 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: How did that happen? 466 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: And you know, he found the humor in that sort 467 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 3: of But there are chemicals in your brain, and you're 468 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 3: born and you're susceptible to it. Your brain chemical changing 469 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: with drugs and alcohol in a way that when you're sober, 470 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 3: you would never do anything. And I think that's what 471 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 3: happened with Rob Reiner's kid, Nick. He's now sitting in 472 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 3: jail four million dollars bond, and he's accused of killing 473 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 3: his mom and dad with a knife, which means a 474 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: ton of anger. If you're going to kill somebody and 475 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 3: you shoot somebody from far away, there's a difference between 476 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 3: that and taking a knife and slitting the throat of 477 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 3: your mom and your dad. And I hope this is 478 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 3: not becoming a trend. We've been talking about this for 479 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 3: the last two weeks, and I pray to God it's 480 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 3: not becoming a trend. 481 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. 482 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 3: We got some audio here Rob Reiner talking about the 483 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 3: movie he did with his son Nick being Charlie, and 484 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 3: also Rob Reiner on The Howard Stern Show with his 485 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 3: son Nick.

The main 492 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 3: suspect and the only suspect is their son Nick Nick Reiner, 493 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: who I believe they caught at USC on the campus, 494 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 3: but there I don't know anybody in Los Angeles or 495 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 3: in the entertainment world that has the range that Rob 496 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 3: Reiner had to be able to do a very funny 497 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: movie Spinal Tap, which is if you've not seen it, please, 498 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,959 Speaker 3: you know, look for it and watch it is. 499 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: It is very, very funny. 500 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 3: He also did When Harry Met Sally, A Few Good Men, 501 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 3: which is one of my favorite movies of all time, Misery, 502 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: Princess Bride, and stand By Me. Who has the range 503 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 3: to do all those he did? Misery, Yeah he did. 504 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: I didn't know that one. Yeah, But who has that 505 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 3: kind of range other than Rob Reiner. 506 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: I don't know anybody. Anybody. 507 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 3: This is Rob Reiner with his son Nick talking about 508 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: the film called Being Charlie, which is all about the 509 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 3: relationship that Nick had with his dad. They change a 510 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 3: little bit in the movie, made him a politician as 511 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 3: opposed to a director. But here's Rob Reiner talking about 512 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 3: his son Nick Nick Reiner, who is the main suspect 513 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 3: in the murder of both of his parents. 514 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 4: If your kid is going through rough times, the parent 515 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 4: is your main job is to keep a child safe. 516 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 4: So I would do anything even I felt out a loss, 517 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: So I would do anything that, as we say in 518 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 4: the film, anybody with the desk and the diploma, I 519 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 4: would listen to them and the whole idea of tough 520 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 4: love and you have to be a certain way, and 521 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 4: it's not my nature, it's not the way I am built. 522 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 2: But I went and did that. 523 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 4: You know, And I think that, you know, at the 524 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 4: end of the day, I know my child better than 525 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 4: an expert does, and I probably should have trusted my 526 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 4: own instinct. And that's one of the things I did 527 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 4: learn about the whole experience. 528 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: So Rob Reiner's instinct is to really love your child, 529 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: help your child, and yet he went out of his 530 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 3: comfort zone and talked to psychiatrists after psychiatrists after psychologists, 531 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 3: and tried to figure out how to make his kid's 532 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: life better. And he probably spent millions of dollars in 533 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: doing that, and spent you know, thousands, maybe tens of 534 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: thousands of hours trying to get his kid the help 535 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 3: that he needed. And some kids they never warm up 536 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,719 Speaker 3: to help at all. And this I think was one 537 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: of those cases where he tried everything and listen to 538 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 3: this part right here. 539 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 4: As we say in the film, anybody with the desk 540 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 4: and the diploma, I would listen to them. 541 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 3: Okay, but that's not his nature to do that. His 542 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: nature was the same thing he learned from his dad, 543 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 3: you know, his dad, Carl Reiner, is just to be there, 544 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 3: love your kid, try to help him out. And then 545 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: they tried to talk him into tough love, and he 546 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: wasn't comfortable doing that. And so he at the end 547 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 3: when he says, you know, I should have listened to 548 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: my instinct. You can hear in his voice. I'll play 549 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 3: it for you again. Where he felt he failed his kid. 550 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 3: He felt my and my dad went through the exact 551 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 3: same team. My dad felt like he failed my brother, 552 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 3: and he didn't and Rob didn't either, you know, they 553 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 3: just they just there are some people in this world 554 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 3: that just don't get better as much as you try. 555 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 3: And Rob spent thousands of hours. My dad spent thousands 556 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: of hours trying and trying and trying. 557 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 2: And it drains you. 558 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 3: It drains all the energy out of you when you 559 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 3: can't help your kid, when you know that your kid 560 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: is homeless, and it's it's you know, it's raining out 561 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 3: and it's dark out, and your kids sleeping on the street. 562 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: That happened to us, It happened to Rob, and so 563 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 3: I know what this is like. And I know you 564 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: know the countless nights that Rob Reiner probably went to 565 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 3: sleep crying over this. 566 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 2: I guarantee you that happened. 567 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 4: And the whole idea of tough love and you have 568 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 4: to be a certain way, and it's not my nature, 569 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 4: it's not the way I am built. But I went 570 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 4: and did that, you know, And I think that, you know, 571 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, I know my child 572 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 4: better than an expert does, and I probably should have 573 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 4: trusted my own instinct. And that's one of the things 574 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 4: I did learn about the whole experience. 575 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he said, you can hear in his voice 576 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 3: that he felt like he failed as kid, and he didn't. 577 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 3: He didn't, you know, just there are some people in 578 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 3: this world that just don't get better. The treatment doesn't work, 579 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 3: they don't want treatment, they rebel. Their chemistry is just 580 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 3: off and nothing, nothing works, and sometimes it comes to 581 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 3: an end like this. It's horrible and I hope this 582 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 3: is not a new trend.
